A Latina character is one of the newest cast members to stroll through Sesame Street in the 46th season of the beloved show.

Suki Lopez, a Cuban-American actress and Miami native, plays the role of Nina on the show. The young character is bilingual and “uses her wit, compassion and charisma to help the furry residents of Sesame Street solve their daily dilemmas, providing a positive role model for preschoolers,” according to the Sesame Workshop.

“Sesame Street is constantly evolving and has a long-standing history of modeling a diverse community,” the site’s character description said. “As producers took note of changing demographics in the United States, it was important to represent this diversity in the new addition to the cast.”
